Sainsbury’s Closes Discount Code Scam

by Andrew

The Mirror has reported on some ’special’ code released on the internet that allows users of Sainsbury’s website to gain huge discounts off drink prices.

One user claims to have had his bill reduced from £448.52 down to just £182.52.

Sainsbury’s has gotten wind of the scam - this is a scam rather than a controlled marketing action - and has made adjustments stating that it was blocking future purchases using multiple voucher codes and freezing any orders that have not already been delivered.

The Mirror reporter,Ruki Sayid, Consumer Editor, obviously hasn’t really got his finger on the pulse claiming that “Two weeks ago secret codes for 40 per cent savings at off-licence chain Thresher were leaked on to the net.”
